If you have a smart phone, pull up the map program, and mark the location where you parked your car. That way you have digital breadcrumbs for the walk back to the car

Hi Mark, I think it's an annual show. Would love to meet up with folks from Fred Miranda. Next year they will have the Thunderbirds, too early to know the rest of the lineup. It was a great show. There was this one act where the 9 Red Arrows were coming straight down from inside some clouds and did the burst right when they became visible, it was an amazing sight but the lens (200-600mm) I had on my main camera was too long to capture the scene and it was too late to shoot with the other camera with a 24-105mm that I had with me.
The parking signs were confusing and inadequate, it took me and many others more than 45 minutes just to find the direction to get to the parking area. The state troopers didn't seem to know the direction either. As with many other airshows, it took me almost two hours just to get out of the parking area. Staying around for another hour after the show would have been a good idea.
The ticket was $40, general parking was $20. I think Rhode Island has big airshows occasionally. Jones Beach in Queens has a show every year too....Show more →
I'll never say "never" ever again A few days ago I had a little assignment to capture a new amenity center for one of my developers. The community is a small parcel of townhomes and so the pool and amenity center is proportionate, nothing over the top. I arrived and captured a couple of nice angles, but felt like there was something else that I could do for the client. Just so happens I had one of my drones in the car so I flew a couple of clips for them just to provide a unique perspective. Simple enough drone clip, but the client was ecstatic and that is the way I like them.....

Thank you Laura. Actually this time I had no trouble finding my car in the parking area. It just took almost two hours to drive out of the parking area after the show. Finding the parking area in the morning was a bit challenge because of the lack of parking direction signs. A lot of folks who arrived earlier drove around and around not knowing where the parking are was. Anyway, I was very happy with the show and got to learn to use my new Sony 200-600 lens, which looks pretty sharp. Here is a few more from the show.
The tech rep for Sony emailed me today to see if we could have lunch in the next week or so. I think this is about the upcoming A7r IV release. I'm not quite ready to mirrorless yet but it looks like a great camera and I'm always happy to get to know someone new at Sony. I'm working behind the scenes with the development team in charge of the RX0II camera that I was so disappointed in earlier this year. The head of the team that brought that camera to market wants me to be a Beta tester of some iterations of the RX0II that they are working on. I so want a larger sensor small footprint camera with wonderful stabilization for a couple of big projects I'm working on. What I have will work, but I'd like to move it to the next level. Come to think of it, I wonder how the 5 axis stabilization in the A7r IV would handle aerobatic flight? Maybe we'll find out here pretty soon!
Go Pro is rumbling about a release of the Hero 8 Black in the next month, promising higher image quality and a few other tricks. That'll be interesting, but a 61MP A7rIV, now that could really be something................or not Unfortunately, for me, Canon isn't even close to popping up on my radar in the mirrorless department.
awesome Steve, i seen a short video clip of the rare SU-47 being rolled out to static, was wondering if you were going to get photos, and i see you did
Not that I've even attempted finishing my air show shots from June, but I'm heading here tomorrow in hopes of getting even more shots for the backlog...
